Attempted ATM heist was a false alarm

Police say three men who were accused of attempting to steal an ATM were, in fact, conducting legitimate business.

According to an updated press release from the Burlington Police Department the men were fully permitted and did not violate any laws.

On Tuesday afternoon, police received a call for employees of Outdoor Gear Exchange in Burlington stating three men were attempting to steal an ATM and that one of men was even bold enough to pretend to be an employee of the bank who owns the ATM.
